About this product
Product Information
InHow to Prove There Is a God,distinguished philosopher and best-selling author Dr. Mortimer Adler sets out the powerful philosophical argument for the existence of God. How to Prove There Is a Godcontains articles from different stages of Dr. Adler's philosophical career, showing him defending his position against critics and struggling to improve it by correcting his earlier errors. The earliest of these pieces was written in 1943 and the latest in 1981. Nearly all the chapters of this book have never appeared in book form before, and have been hard to find, and some have not previously been printed anywhere. Adler, who died in 2001, attracted a large following and a large readership because of his best-selling books such asHow to Read a Book, his TV lectures on philosophy, his promotion of the Great Ideas and the Great Books of the Western World, and his redesigning of theEncyclopedia Britannica. Although always a thinker in the Catholic Thomist tradition, he only became a Catholic shortly before his death, and for most of his life described himself as a pagan.

Reviews
"America's foremost philosopher." --TIME Magazine "Mortimer Adler's argument for the existence of God was a powerful reminder that the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition was far from exhausted--now we can be grateful that Adler's work is receiving the serious attention it deserves." --DEAL W. HUDSON, author of Onward Christian Soldiers: The Growing Political Power of Catholics and Evangelicals in the United States (2008) "Why is there something rather than nothing? This collection of essays, interviews, criticisms, and reflections gives us a Mortimer Adler as public learner, trying to find the right question to ask about the existence of God, wrestling with it over decades, addressing the arguments of great theologians, philosophers, and scientists, refining his own answer to the question, and responding to his critics--all with the clarity of thought and simplicity of expression that characterize his writing for the general public." --CHRISTOPHER NELSON, President, St. John's College Annapolis " How to Prove There Is a God is vintage Mortimer Adler. A job beautifully done." --JACQUES BARZUN, author of From Dawn to Decadence (2000) and Simple and Direct (1985), America's foremost philosopher." —TIME Magazine Mortimer Adler's argument for the existence of God was a powerful reminder that the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition was far from exhausted—now we can be grateful that Adler's work is receiving the serious attention it deserves." —DEAL W.
